Happy Patients Of Our Surgeon

DR MERVE IS A GENIUS, thank you to CAN as well, incredible

I feel is absolutely necessary to share my amazing experience with MONO clinic, as I feel there are sometimes unnecessary negative comments which will put people off going ahead, but it was hands down the best decision I have ever made.

I am delighted to write this review for MONO, especially CAN (my patient service assistant) and my surgeon DR MERVE who performed my Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery.

I will be honest I was absolutely terrified for my surgery, a lot of negative press against surgery abroad in general. It was without a doubt the scariest decision of my life. I understand everybody’s experience is different but want to share my experience as DR MERVE and MONO CLINIC have completely changed my life. FOR THE BETTER!

I was so insecure about my body shape, size of my butt and lack of hips! For years this has effected me, the clothes I wore, I could never be my true self because I was always so self conscious.

From start to finish, my experience with my surgeon was nothing short of exceptional. Not only was my surgeon knowledgeable and experienced in their field, but they also took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer all of your questions, and make sure you were comfortable with every step of the process.

DR MERVE professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of your care. They worked closely with me to understand my desired outcome.

Throughout the surgery, my surgeon and their team took every precaution to ensure your safety and comfort.

The hospital was clean, the nurses were so friendly, warm and welcoming. They even ordered food to the hospital for my boyfriend!

But the excellent care didn’t stop there. After my surgery, MONO continued to provide clear and concise instructions on how to care for yourself during the recovery process. They checked in with me regularly to monitor my progress and make sure i was healing ok. Their dedication to your well-being was truly remarkable, especially CAN.

CAN, my patient service assistant, was also incredibly helpful and attentive. His English was amazing. He went above and beyond throughout to make sure that all of my needs were met and that I felt supported throughout my stay in Turkey. CAN was always available to answer my questions, provide guidance and support, and make sure that I was comfortable and taken care of.

I had missed my flight by a few minutes flying out on the Monday 🙁 CAN was so helpful over the phone and rearranged my pick up times, he was on hand even throughout the night bless him. He made sure I was comfortable and reassured that my surgery would still go ahead despite not getting there until early hours the following day!!!

We were picked up in a lovely van, all the drivers were helpful and polite.

I have a high pain tolerance so I am very lucky that I didn’t find the procedure too bad at all, I was up walking within a few hours, discharged the next day and continued to walk around Izmir town. We stayed in the hotel which was about 15 minute walk from the pier where we had some beautiful sea food.

I was supposed to be there for 7 days but chose to fly home 3 days early, the clinic assessed me and assured me I was well enough to fly home.

CAN is still on the end of the phone to help me continue my journey.

The results were instant and speak for themselves. My BBL surgery was a complete success, and you couldn’t be happier with the way you look and feel right now, I understand these aren’t my final results so looking forward to working on my body to gain the best possible look.

DR MERVE skill and expertise have given you a new sense of confidence and self-assurance that you never thought possible.

Overall, I cannot recommend MONO and my surgeon highly enough. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and their commitment to delivering the best possible care and results is second to none.

If you are considering BBL surgery, I would strongly encourage you to choose this surgeon and MONO. You will not be disappointed!!!

10/10 ⭐️ star rating!!! Absolutely amazing team at Mono Clinic

My girlfriend had made the decision to fly to Turkey for breast augmentation, liposuction and a bichectomy. Whilst I didn’t think she needed any of the above, I accompanied her to support her. Not only did Mono Clinic do an amazing job in the survey. But the entire team played their part from the driver who met us at the airport taking us to our hotel to the, nurses in the hospital providing immediate after care treatment, the doctors who visited us in our hotel room to change the dressings, the various customer relations team who were on hand at all hours of the day and night to answer questions (and there were a lot!) special mentions have to go out to Dr Merve Özkaya ünsal who had such a calming demeanour and an incredible knowledge of not just the immediate impact of surgery but also 5,10,20 years down the line. (I don’t think many people think that far ahead). The second special mention and probably the most important has to go to our coordinator Berkhan, Berkhan has a great level of positivity and optimism that can settle the most anxious of individuals. My partner must have been a very challenging customer for him and he must have received over 200+ messages during our stay. Not once did he seem like it was a trouble for him to reply (late at night and then even on his day off). This guy helped me personally get through this experience, because believe me, it was not easy caring for someone who is unable to do anything for themselves. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mono Clinic to anyone who is considering going to Turkey to have some work done. The clinic itself is very clean and welcoming and they simply cannot do enough for you. Very happy with everything and feel like we got to know most of the staff on a personal level which was so reassuring. Thanks again 🙏 Dan & Daniela

Helpful, compassionate and professional

Taking the decision to do cosmetic surgery is not an easy decision. Mono clinic was recommended to me and I started my enquiries through to having my procedures of breast augmentation, uplift and 360 liposuction the experience has been positive. My experience was made positive and a house thanks to Tolga who was my client care coordinator. He was so helpful, compassionate and professional. Also, Thanks to Dr. Merve who did my surgery and for all the advice about aftercare which is very important!!

I had 360 lipo and chin lipo

I had 360 lipo and chin lipo with Dr. Merve Ozkaya Unsal. I was originally going for a BBL but after homework I was worried about the safety of the procedure and going abroad. I decided to get 360 lipo and chin instead. I’m very happy with my results so far.
I would do it again tomorrow.
I stayed in a very clean safe private room in hospital. I had round the clock care. The villa was great, the only down side is I was given a much smaller, dated room with TERRIBLE beds. They had no headboard and it was very difficult to sleep post surgery for me and my mum (who hadn’t had surgery). However, this was the only down side of the stay.
My pre surgery information was not great either. I was contacted alot to pay a deposit and after that things were very quiet and I had to ask alot of questions I would have expected to be sent to me. An itinary would have been useful with taxi information. Information about food. Hospitals. Procedure detail etc.

The highlights were my patient coordinator NEHIR. what a lovely caring kind girl. She checked on me several times a day. All my needs and questions were met. She stayed with me in hospital until I was awake and safe despite it being her graduation day. I feel this girl goes above and beyond compared to other coordinators.
Also at the villa mikail was lovely and kind and accommodating.

I would definitely go to mono again. Don’t be put off by the social media being very focused on a certain type of look. Every day people who want tweaks and enhancements also use mono who aren’t Instagram models or influencers and have more subtle results. Mono is clean, safe and I will go back again and recommend.

I’m so happy with the results and also very good communications through everything

I came to Izmir and was picked up at the airport like we had talked about. I had been in communications with Ilyas who was so helpful and nice over my entire stay.
I was picked up and taken to the hospital on surgery day to have mommy makeover ( breast lift, lipo and tummy tuck), so nice people there and most of them speak English 👌🏽
Ilyas was there for me when I woke up and assisted me getting back to hotel the day after.
after that I met wonderful Busem who came and visited us every day to check if everything was okay with the stitches and changed bandages when needed. She is so lovely and nice! ☺️
Dr. Merve did my surgery and she did amazing job! I’m so happy with the results and also very good communications through everything. 🤩

I can really recommend this clinic from start to finish .

I was well cared for every step

I had a tummy tuck 2 weeks ago and it was a wonderful experience. I was well cared for every step of the way by my patient co ordinator Ece Şahin. She accompanied me for the surgery , arranged my consultations and visits. She communicated with me throughout and I never felt alone. My Dr Merve was amazing. I also felt especially cared for by Mikael and Ayse at the recovery Villa. Surgery recovery can be uncomfortable but every body did their best to make me feel special and cared for. This made all the difference.

I had a breast reduction and lift

I had a breast reduction and lift just 9 days ago and I’m very satisfied. My assistant Nazim was amazing. He helped me with all the paper work and my medication. I do appreciate his open and direct communication.
I’m very happy so fare with the results and can’t wait to have my full recovery to see the final results.
Thanks to the Mono team and Dr. Merve. Unfortunately I was able to only see her once on the day of the surgery. She had a private situation and had to leave the town but I was able to face time her and speak to her personally. The nurses were very kind and did everything necessary.

I was so nervous when I booked with mono for my breast reduction and uplift surgery

I was so nervous when I booked with mono for my breast reduction and uplift surgery. No one I knew had been or heard of anyone who had, you hear horror stories about going to turkey! Well I couldn’t be anymore happier than I am that I chose Mono from the start with Safaa & Beste my patient service specialist Furkan, my
Dr Dr.Merve, the staff at the villa even the private transfer drivers. Everyone has been fabulous. My experience was everything was organised if I needed something I would just message Furkan or ask the staff at the villa , nothing was a problem. Thank you to everyone 😊 Victoria from the UK
